Actors’ misaligned interests to explain the low impact of an information system – A case study

作者:

Highlights:

• Use of actor network theory to explain why successful implementation and adoption can lead to a low level of later use.

• Defined the difference between the “declarative” and “de-facto” interest of actors and networks.

• A new way of modelling actor networks with use of the UML notation.

• The same set of actors may form a stable network in one particular situation but not in another.

• End-users’ or managers’ satisfaction is not necessarily a good proxy for success of the IS diffusion process.
